Stevie's Week in Hollywood

Ok... we can do this two ways... one is to ignore the pink elephant in the room and pretend all is normal... the other is to just acknowledge the fact that there hasn't been a posting since early May. Since then, a man in a Bat Suit became the #2 grossing movie of all time, once 'has-been' actors such as Robert Downey Jr and Mickey Rourke have become possible front runners at next year's Oscar race, Shia LeBeouf has become a bonafide superstar with two #1 movies within a 4 month span AND an animated movie about a lonely robot ranks as one of the best movies of the year.

But don't think I've been sitting on my laurels these past few months, in this period of no correspondance, I did travel to the Cannes Film Festival (hung out with Indy and a Panda), trekked over to San Diego for Comic Con (where I met Hugh Jackman and became a nerd about Twilight and The Watchmen) and busted my bum covering the Toronto Film Festival (where Anne Hathaway gave me goosebumps and Jennifer Aniston called me cute). Oh yes, I've been a busy bee, just not a busy blogger bee...to which I officially apologise.

Ok, lets get back to the reason why you've returned to this site. I've got some cool stuff that have made blip that you should definitely know about.

Did you know Mark Wahlberg talks to animals?

Two weeks ago, the popular sketch comedy show, SNL, presented a randomly hilarious piece which portrayed Mark Wahlberg (played by Adam Sandberg) talking to animals.

Then last week, while the real Mark Wahlberg was doing press for his movie Max Payne, journalists kept on asking him what he thought about the much passed about sketch. At first, he wasn't too keen of it (see this angry clip), but the whole thing got so big that Mark had to address the cultural phenomenom... guess who showed up on SNL this weekend?

Of course all this didn't hurt the promotion of his action thriller Max Payne which easily took the #1 spot at the box office this weekend.

If you want to see my interviews with the wonderfully nice Mark, check them out on VIP Access next week!

I've seen the new 007  movie Quantum of Solace and you haven't !!!!
